hey

i found this old photo from whin i was about 16 catching my fisrt big pike.



anyone else got any fishing photo's?

Somewhere I have a shot of me and my wife with the day's sturgeon catch. Our first time fishing for sturgeon, I caught the biggest on the boat.

One sec, I think I know where to find it . . .



This was from several years ago . . . I switched to contacts in 2006.

Nice catch, Manser!
For a first time, those are some great catches. I think the only fish I managed to catch on the pier was about 3 inches haha

yeah i mean ive caught lots of jack(little) pike before but that was my 1st big one. nice catches mordax , always wanted to catch a sturgeon but there not that easy to come by in the UK. my aunt has got one in her pond, i might have to take my rod over there some time lol

Nice pike Manser, I do abit of piking in the winter when the carp are slow and the seasides freezing. Here's a some of the larger carp iv had over the last couple years. Just looked on my laptop, I have over a thousand fishing pics lol

















Ok i'll stop there before i spend all day posting fishing pics!

lol haha nice carps there bro,, ive never really caught a massive carp, biggest is about 14lbs but i dont carp fish that much more of a course fisherman love using the quivertip. you should come down the warren in stanford-le-hope (no-hope) theres some massive pike (and carp) in there

Yes I know the warren mate. A couple people i tattoo fish there, that where you fish? I too enjoy using a quivertip for some light fun but full weekends after the carp is my passion. 14lbs is still a good carp and I think they fight better than the lumps to be honest!

yeah i fish there for pike ive never fished it for carp but have seen some biggens come out. i try n get all over the place glouster park, northlands, newlands hall, aarons farm, every year me n the old man go up north n fish the river seven for a week catching barbel and chub and the occasional pike, its good fun and river fish fight like crazy

Newlands hall!! no way, I done my work experience there many years ago now. A ride on lawn mower and a quad, good times!

I'd definatly be up for a session one day. I too enjoy the rivers but a few years ago I had aload of gear stolen so unfortunatly I stay in locked gates now.

that sucks man, thats why i dont do much night fishing i get paranoid my stuff is gonna get nicked. next time im gonna go fishing mate ill let ya know. ill pm my number to ya. yeah had some gd times there myself, caught my first carp from there using floating bread crust

I know what you mean, i'v done countless nights on my own on my members lake but Im just too paranoid now and can't do it anymore.

Yea no worries mate, let us know. Shame winters here now, my gear seems to sit in the shed more and more.

with me its the opposite, i get my gear out for winter, i do more fishing in winter than i do in summer, cant stand it when its really hot and even the fish dont seem to feed much whewn its to hot. need it to be overcast perfect weather for fishing

Yep your right there mate, as nice as it is by the bank with blazing sun, just don't catch much. Also if you like your pike then it has to be winter, as you know they don't recover well in the summer. Another thing i like about winter is you don't have to fight for a swim! lol

Il have to dig out some of my pike pics nothing as big as in your pic though. Got a weight on that?

it was about 16lb but the scales i had back then wernt that great so how accurate they were i dont know, the warren was well busy first day of pike season, every bank was taken and 70 pike come out in that one day .

heres somne facebook links to a pike that i caught a few weeks back, only small but the bugger nipped my finger lol
